At the Gabriel Empire’s capital, Gabriels City (Sword Capital) royal harem area, Princess Kriss’ palace. The Sword Dancers began to move after receiving orders from Myriad Sword Demon Krysan. The 68 Sword Saint-level experts that the Hilikas family had secretly placed outside her palace had retreated.
The Sword Dancers’ limbs were in the shape of blades, as they also had a sharp blade for their heads with two red glowing dots for eyes. They had a metallic luster over their whole body that looked very sci-fi, just like robots.
These guys were the exclusive Demonic Beings belonging to Myriad Sword Demon Krysan. They were the fusion of the resentment accumulated from her collection of swords and the swords that were discarded. Even though their strength was not as strong as the sword spirits in Kriss’ sword space, they could rank in the forefront among the legion of Demonic Beings that she commanded.
The Sword Dancers were just the nickname given to them by Krysan. Their accurate title should be Blade Demons. The delicious Renegade girl friends by Bella’s side all had their own personal unique Demonic Beings. This was the type that Kriss possessed, but for the others, such as Bella’s little sister, Lisha, Lisha’s dark true form - Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha, commanded the Demonic Dragon Guards that are considered the exclusive Demonic Beings of the Renegades.
“Rest assured, mistress, we swear on your honor to complete this task!”
“Alright, go about your business. Remember, don’t kill anyone. It’s not the right time yet.”
Once the Sword Dancers dispersed, Kriss’ original appearance in the mirror finally spoke. She was the original Kriss. Her dark personality was worried that she wouldn’t be able to deal with that sly fox, Emperor Alfred the Third, so she came out to deal with things for her. Earlier, Kriss was hiding in the mirror world and could see everything clearly.
“Uh, didn’t you overdo it just now?”
“You just don’t understand humans. They’ve always been like that, so it’s useless to talk reason with them. I almost had the impulse to tell that damn Emperor to just let Bella marry you directly! Saves them the effort of cooking up these plans all day long.”
“What… What are you saying?! I… I haven’t decided yet. Hurry and return control of my body back to me! Girls don’t marry girls, that’s not appropriate… Anyway, I’ll solve this matter myself, so don’t you butt in.”
“Hmph, your arrogance is going to be your loss. Don’t forget that the other Renegades have not given up their strange thoughts with Bella yet.”
Kriss’ personalities had yet to completely merge at this moment, so there were still differences between her and her dark personality. Both of them would have to share the same language if they wanted to fuse completely. Right now, the dark personality, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, and the normal Kriss, had one thing in common; that is, they both liked Bella. That was the best reason for them to fuse together completely.
The Renegades and the Vow Breakers pretty much all had these sort of split personality problems due to their special existence. If it were not solved, then they might end up falling completely and collapsing. Krysan thought that Kriss was too proud. As the first girl to accept Bella’s confession in the true sense of the word, she was one step ahead of the other girls.
But Kriss would not use this advantage to take an active position, which made her dark personality, Krysan, feel very nervous. She was just short of forcibly occupying her body, then climbing into Bella’s bed in the middle of the night after stripping down. If she had not appeared just now, then it was very likely that Kriss would end up being tricked into agreeing to some unreasonable demand by Emperor Alfred the Third for the sake of whatever “unity” and “righteousness” crap he was putting out.
Kriss couldn’t help but feel a little guilty when her dark farm put it that way and could only change the subject. Both sides were still essentially the same person, so there were many things Kriss could hide from Bella, but not her dark personality, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan.
“By the way, will the Emperor agree to our request? It’s best to avoid conflict as much as possible. You know how Bella is, empire or whatever is none of her business. If she finds out about the Emperor’s intentions, she might do something crazy.”
“Nope, definitely not. That old man didn’t say a word just now, so it’s very likely he’s planning to conspire with two of those annoying Sword Gods to assassinate Bella to try and get us to change our mind. That’s how humans are like, they’ll say one thing but then do something else in the shadows.”
“That is good, too. Bella will come to look for us sooner or later anyway. When that time comes, we’ll just let her decide. You don’t have to worry about the Emperor’s strength, he’s just cannon fodder for Bella regardless.”
Even if Kriss disagreed with the plans of her dark personality, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, the deal was done; it was too late to save it. She could only go with Krysan’s idea. She knew about the nasty plan that Krysan had, but she just wanted Emperor Alfred the Third to pick a fight with Bella, then she would have a legitimate reason to intervene in the empire.
When Kriss returned to her normal state, two new visitors came through the door of the palace. They were a pair of beautiful twin sisters dressed in formal swordsman attire. On their arms were armbands with the Hilikas family’s symbol, indicating their identities as the young mistresses of the Hilikas family.
The twin young mistresses of the Hilikas family were really beautiful, with delicate features like finely carved statues. Under the light, their fair skin glistened like alabaster. Their bodies were well-proportioned, almost perfect to the golden ratio, and both their hair and their eyes were silvery-white. This gave Kriss a pretty good first impression of them. If they had similar hair colors, then they might be able to get along.
The twin young mistresses of the Hilikas family were almost the same height. The only thing different was the rings on their fingers. They wore the Hilikas family’s rings on their slender fingers. The older sister wore hers on the right index finger while the little sister wore hers on the left, which was a detail that Kriss quickly noticed.
Kriss had only heard of the Hilikas family in the past, about how they were the guardians of the Gabriel Empire. She had no idea how many family members the Hilikas family had or how many Sword Gods were among them. Naturally, she did not know the names of these two young mistresses either. However, that did not stop Kriss from giving them the eviction order.
Her dark personality, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, had already given her a good demonstration just now; she just had to be tougher with these humans. However, the two beautiful girls opposite her had already seen the disgust in Kriss’ eyes. Kriss was not good at hiding her emotions, so her mood could always be seen on her face quite easily.
“Big Sister Princess Kriss, we bear no malice. The old man was not being very sensible just now, but please pay it no mind. We two sisters have heard that your swordsmanship has already surpassed the Sword God level and have specifically come to seek your advice, so don’t drive us away, okay? We are good girls.”
“Big Sister Princess Kriss, you’re so pretty, so I’m sure you won’t be mean to us! We really just came to play with you. We don’t have any bad intentions, so please believe us!”
The twin young mistresses of the Hilikas family hurried to curry her favor when they saw the unkindly look on her face. When she saw the sincere eyes and smiles on the sisters’ faces, Kriss felt troubled. These sisters must have been sent to her by the Hilikas family to ease the conflict that had just broken between them. After all, they might be able to find some common ground as they were both girls.
Kriss did not hate the twins. They had come to her with a smile, so Kriss couldn’t be fierce with them either. She has already changed back to her normal personality currently. If it were the dark personality from before, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, she might have driven them out immediately.
However, accepting them just like this would be too simple. Kriss looked at the two sisters that looked just like finely-crafted dolls as an evil thought flashed past her mind. She had been with Bella for so long that she learned many “special habits” from Bella, even in her normal personality.
“Stop hesitating, Kriss. Doesn’t Bella like pretty girls? Just gift these two to Bella! She’ll definitely be ecstatic. Just make it a present! If you don’t make a decision, then I’ll come out to do it in your stead.”
“Enough, other me! You’re spying on my private thoughts again! I… I was just thinking randomly, so don’t speculate nonsense, okay?”
“These two sisters are at the Sword God level. Do you think Bella would leave them alone when she comes? You might as well take the initiative to help her!”
Kriss was communicating with her dark personality, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, in her mind. All sorts of evil plans were being transmitted through her head like a file transfer. Despite saying that she didn’t want to do anything bad, Kriss did not refuse the information, which was a tacit agreement that she would use them.
The twin young mistresses of the Hilikas family were both looking apprehensively at Kriss. They did receive the request from their family to come and improve relations with Kriss. To show their sincerity, they did not even wear their veils and came out to meet her in their true appearance. They had already heard of the rumors that Kriss was drop-dead gorgeous.
When they saw her in person, their original doubts about the rumor’s authenticity were completely dispelled. Kriss’s beauty really was at that level, so much so that the twins who always called themselves the beautiful twin roses had to sigh in defeat. People always yearned for beauty, so when the two sisters said they wanted to be friends with Kriss, they were sincere about that.
“Is that so? I’ll ask for your names later. Before that, you have to honestly answer one question before I agree to be friends with you. Do you two have boyfriends? Or do you have a boy that you like?”
“Big Sister Kriss, why are you asking us that? Are you going to introduce someone to use? We’ve always been training in the family, so we usually only see the teachers. We hardly ever see any boys, so we don’t have boyfriends.”
“Princess Kriss, we don’t have boyfriends. Are you going to help us find one?”
“Uh, I guess… No, it’s nothing. It was just a casual question. Come in, don’t stand around at the door. I’m sure we can get along.”
Kriss turned around and led them inside the palace, a wicked, conspiring smile flashing across her near-perfect face. Knowing that the two sisters did not have boyfriends, she planned to introduce them to a “special boyfriend,” then they won’t have to look for other boys in the future.
The Hilikas family sisters, who had no idea that Kriss had already planned something bad for them, thought they had really moved Kriss with their sincerity and happily went inside. By the time they realized that it was all part of Kriss’ evil plan, it was already too late. By then, they were already pressed down on the bed by a certain someone and thoroughly loved.
The person behind that was none other than this silver-haired princess in front of them, nicknamed the strongest “Sword Heroine” in the Gabriel Empire. To think she would actually have an intimate relationship with the nemesis of the humans, one of the Demon Kings… Practically no one knew that fact; even with the Hilikas family’s almost omnipresent intelligence network, they weren’t able to figure that out.
In a secret room inside the palace, Emperor Alfred the Third was currently with the elders of the No. 1 guardian family of the empire, the Hilikas family. These elders were the six Sword Gods who had appeared in the Hilikas family’s history, which also contained the two that were scared away by Kriss’s dark personality, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, with a single move.
“Alfred, arrange for someone to suppress Grand Duchess Bellina as soon as possible, get her far away from Kriss. It’s not decent for two girls to come together like that. If it’s not possible, then abolish her title. She’s just a Dragon Knight, but to think she still dares to be arrogant in our swordsman empire.”
“I will have the young talents in the family attend the rose banquet tonight so that Kriss finds out what the right kind of love is. I just don’t believe that there will really be true love between two girls.”
“Understood. I will arrange all of that now, elders!”
Faced with the aggressive attitude of several of the Sword God elders of the Hilikas family, Emperor Alfred the Third could only agree to their proposal. However, the Emperor was troubled. These old-fashioned elders really didn’t understand the situation. They were too conceited. The current Bella was no longer just a noble who bought her title.
The more than six million Southern Alliance forces approaching the empire were all in support of Bella. They really couldn’t move her right now. If they ended up provoking any of them, then things would not end well. Right now, he could only take one step at a time and hope that the Hilikas family and Bella could balance out the forces between them. That way, he could mediate for them and find a balancing point for himself.
However, Bella had already found out about all this. Somewhere on the walls of this secret palace were several wandering spirits secretly watching them, transmitting the secret information back to the master who summoned them, Demon God Angel. Then, Angel was responsible for transmitting that information to Bella.
The coordinates of this secret palace had already been marked down by Time Space Demon Noesha, so a spatial gate could be opened at any time to transport the Evil Demonic Beings summoned by Great Evil God Mia to kill Emperor Alfred the Third and these core elders of the Hilikas family.
Great Evil God Mia’s demons were the standard used by the World Destructor’s Camp to invade dimensions. Even a Sword God could easily be swept away. Fortunately, Emperor Alfred the Third still had some virtue left in him and did not say anything to denigrate Bella. Otherwise, the consequences would be serious. At worst, he might end up dying right now. These lolis were very simple-minded and were naturally dark in nature. They played completely by their mood and did not consider any consequences.
Inside Sky Pool Palace, Bella had just entered with Young Mistress Helena while communicating telepathically with Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia. As for Emperor Alfred the Third’s secret meeting, she had seen everything just like a live broadcast.
“Bella, what are you thinking about? Quickly come in and wash the filth off your body!”
“Miss Helena, that won’t be proper, right? I’m not a noble. Moreover, Miss Renath is also here.”
“You… What do you mean? You can’t come in because I’m in here? Hmph. I will sit here, and I won’t leave until you enter.”
